I'm writing today from the beautiful village of Wickford, located on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. Photo shoots are so much fun! I've been sharing pictures from our Fall/Winter 2013 photo shoot all week, but I thought I'd talk a little more about the cool locations we've visited. deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum - Lincoln, MA… Continue reading On Location: Fall/Winter 2013 Photo Shoot

Knitter’s Spotlight: Handknit Socks
I’ve always thought of socks as great way to express my personality. With the exception of holiday socks (always in style), my preferences have changed a lot over the years. When I was little, my socks were white with lots of ruffles. In my early teens, I mostly wore ankle socks with cute prints. During… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Handknit Socks
Spring/Summer 2013 Trunk Shows
When it comes to choosing a project, especially a garment, it isn't just about how well you knit, but also, how well the finished object will fit. That's one of the reasons I love our traveling trunk shows! You can touch and try on one of our new designs before you invest all of your… Continue reading Spring/Summer 2013 Trunk Shows

Knitter’s Spotlight: Sweet Tart Poncho by Aimee Alexander
“Twirliness” may not be a word, but it was a key requirement when Aimee Alexander knit the Sweet Tart Poncho for her 5-year-old daughter. She was so pleased with her design that she also knit a smaller version for her 2-year-old. Still, Aimee was surprised to receive a number of requests for an adult version… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Sweet Tart Poncho by Aimee Alexander
What to Knit: Ashley
If you're like me, you may have noticed the oversized sweater trend and thought, "I could never pull that off." Unfortunately, I sometimes "think" out loud. Norah overheard and was determined to prove me wrong. Last week, I got to spend an afternoon being personally styled by Norah (I know - I really have the best… Continue reading What to Knit: Ashley
Knitter’s Spotlight: Vintage Tops
I love browsing the recently finished projects in our Berroco Lovers forum. It’s fun to see which patterns others are making, but it’s also really interesting for me to see which yarns people favor for certain kinds of projects. Our Vintage yarn shows up in a variety of finished projects, but lately I’ve seen it… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Vintage Tops
Get to Know Berroco: Pitti Filati
Did you know that nearly half of our current yarns come from Italy? That's one of the reasons why our semi-annual trips to Pitti Filati are so important! Pitti Filati is basically the main event in the yarn industry. It's three days of yarn, yarn and more yarn, mixed with elaborate displays and even some food!… Continue reading Get to Know Berroco: Pitti Filati
Knitter’s Spotlight: Centre-Ville Dress and Cardigan by Nancy Eiseman
Nancy Eiseman must have creativity to spare. By day, she designs jacquard-woven fabrics that are used for upholstery. By night (or really, whenever she’s off the clock) she designs with her needles and yarn. Eiseman has been knitting since she was nine, but she says she’s become more focused in the last few years. She’s… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Centre-Ville Dress and Cardigan by Nancy Eiseman
